I remember how during job interviews, when asked how would I describe myself, the adjective �very organized� comes up mentioned all the time. You know when you make stupid lies just to impress the company you want to hire you? Well, I wasn�t lying. I am really VERY organized. I�m sure my friends can attest to how makulit I am planning for an event. I ask questions and I want to get answers FAST. I totally hate procrastinating. I�m one of those students na �masipag� but not necessarily �matalino�. I think I got this trait from my Lola Remy. I remember how she wants no wrinkles when we make the bed and how she has this little notebook where she writes all her expenses down. I think that�s one of the best traits I got from her aside from the natural Faustino Spanish charm, nice slim feet and a height above the rest. Little did I know, sometimes being too organized can lead to bad things.
I had the worst day today. Okay, maybe not the worst but you know how girls get when they whine. I just finished five essays with 500 words each about something I was certainly clueless (and not agreeable) about but I guess that�s part of the job of being a freelance writer. I juggled it all day yesterday in between my readings, twittering and watching TV. I had a 2pm deadline and I cannot use the internet in the house so I had an early lunch to head to the computer shop fast. I had my USB at hand and was about to upload my articles when I saw some precautions to the assignment that I did not notice yesterday. I had to edit some things and had to save everything again entirely because the file is just read-only. I don�t like things magulo as I�ve said, so I tried deleting the unnecessary old items in my assignment folder. Then I CUT the whole folder to transfer it to another one but when I tried to paste it, it was like totally gone! I cannot believe my eyes! I called the ate in the computer shop for help but unfortunately, after trying all the possible ways to retrieve it, it was really missing na. I thought I was gonna die! I hate the thought of having to tell the boss that I cannot submit my articles because �my computer broke down.� I went home feeling so bad about the whole situation and called Abby. She suggested that I write it all over again because things like that happen. But I was so stubborn, I just wanted to whine and sulk. Mads also called me and said the same thing which didn�t really made me feel better. The strange thing is that both of them questioned why I �CUT and paste� when it should�ve been �COPY AND PASTE.� I tried to defend myself because I�ve been doing this computer action for the longest time. I cannot comprehend how my bf who is like � computer illiterate can actually tell me, someone who finished a 4-year college course in MIS, that the action I did on my PC was wrong! I put down the phone and tried to think of reasons why I didn�t even back my files up. I tried to understand why CUTTING is so wrong.
I felt so bad because I can loose this job which I was beginning to love. Its either that or I will get penalized for something I really did but wasn�t able to submit. I opened the air con, laid down on my bed, sulk and started to read �Twilight.� If I wanted to feel any better, I just have to be in the presence of Edward Cullen. Fine, I�ll admit it. I am a freakin� loser. I loved the movie so much I thought it will be unnecessary to read the book. I knew I was next in line after my cousin finished it so I took the chance last Saturday afternoon when all we did was both sulk in bed after not having enough sleep from Toshi�s party the night before and read Twilight. She was reading Eclipse and I, loser as I am, read the first book. I SUPER LOVE IT!!!! I think I love it so much; I wanna turn into a vampire. Actually, I am not sure whether I wanted to be Bella or a vampire like the Cullens. I kept texting my cousin and it was so funny how she would text, �It�s okay if you don�t reply agad. I know how it feels.� It is true, reading Twilight makes you feel better like you are in fantasy land. Though I think I annoy my bf so much because he said something like, �You seem angry at me every time you read or watch something romantic when I don�t make reklamo about how you are naman with me.� I could�ve replied something nicer but all I said was, �Babe, no one can compare to Edward Cullen, not even you,� and then I was left alone. I guess he understood after watching the movie. Why would he want to wear a Ray Ban Wayfarer so bad anyway? I�m not naman adik no but I think I will finish the first book today with only 200 pages left (as of press time, I am done with the 1st book, took me 4 days). I am torn though whether to read the Midnight Sun draft Trin sent to my email or New Moon first (as of press time, I have decided to read the Midnight Sun draft as advised by Ate Trin). I was at the climax (no pun intended) already when my mom arrived and I knew I had to put it down first. I took a long cold shower, applied on the milk scrub to my whole body and the milk treatment into my hair. I shower fast but this is something I do a couple of times a week when I feel like it�it made me feel better, the smell of the milk in my body and my hair. I turned on the laptop and started blogging. I guess I don�t feel so bad after all. Anyway, if I get fired, I still have my PR job that is constant now in my life. Still, I don�t want to get fired. I love writing even about the most stupid things that I am clueless about (Salvia Divinorum, anyone?). I�m such a brat, I know but I guess, if I get fired, I would just have to say, �Well, I had to give it up. I was with Edward Cullen all day, anyway.� And yes, I was ALL worth it.
